Sermon on Galatians 5:13-15, where Paul teaches us that the liberty that we have been called to in Christ is not a license to sin.

Sermon on Galatians 5:13-15, where Paul teaches us that the liberty that we have been called to in Christ is not a license to sin.

Scripture:  Exodus 20:15, Joshua 6-7, James 1:17, Ephesians 4:28, Leviticus 9:13, 1 Timothy 6:17-18, 1 Peter 2:12, Philippians 2:4, Philippians 3:20, Ephesians 2:8-10 This command is simple words, but words with great depth. What does “stealing” cover? It's the taking of what's not ours. Pastor shares a biblical demonstration from the story of the Israelites of the consequences of taking what is not ours and what the Lord has said not to take. There are consequences to disobeying God's clear will and He has established moral law that's be given to us for a purpose - It's for the protection of society and for everyone. You Shall Not Steal     ⁃    Ownership - there is personal ownership but this is not absolute ownership, because everything we have comes from God. God is the giver of all good gifts.     ⁃    Stewardship - take care of what we have - use wisely what God has given us, and bless others with what we have.     ⁃    Citizenship - Be a good citizen - we are part of a culture and called to be a blessing. The way we behave: integrity and honor can be seen by others and can bring them to knowing Jesus and the way we behave brings glory to God. We are called to look out for not only our own interests but also those of others. Our citizenship is in heaven and so we live that way. Citizens of this world but above all we are citizens of heaven through Jesus and what He has done for us and THAT calls us to live like we know that! TWIN DANGERS     ⁃    Legalism - thinking we've done so much better than others. Legalism destroys faith, destroys relationship with God and becomes the worship of self rather than worship of God.     ⁃    Antinomianism - is the thinking that since Jesus died for me and paid for my sins, I can do whatever I like. That is not true and is a complete misunderstanding of what the Bible says. It doesn't say sin doesn't matter! Jesus DID die, DID pay for our sins, DID rise from the grave, IS returning AND BECAUSE WE BELIEVE THAT - we don't want to do what we please.  We want to do what pleases Him! When God gave the Ten Commandments - He did not say, “Do these (Ten Commandments) to be save.” He began these commands by saying, “I am the Lord your God who brought you out of bondage. I am the One who saves you. THEREFORE - now live this way: The Ten Commandments.” Ephesians 2:8-10: For it is by grace you have been saved, through faith—and this is not from yourselves, it is the gift of God— not by works, so that no one can boast. For we are God's handiwork, created in Christ Jesus to do good works, which God prepared in advance for us to do. So by faith we give thanks for Jesus and we desire to live lives that give God glory and bless others. Now What? Learn about God at  https://www.awakeusnow.com EVERYTHING we offer is FREE.

Rev. Andy Wilson and Rev. Russell Hamilton talk about The Marrow of Modern Divinity, an old book that wrestles with the free offer of Jesus Christ to sinners, and questions of law and assurance. This lively old book continues to be relevant to ruling elders in helping people with questions of faith, freedom from the law, legalism, and assurance.

“ Two of the devil's biggest lies are ‘You're the only one who struggles with this kind of stuff' and ‘You can't tell anyone.' Sin thrives in that kind of dark secrecy.” So says author and apologist Sam Allberry during this conversation with Russell Moore. The two discuss Allberry's new book, One with My Lord, and consider various ways people interpret the Bible's perspective on sexuality. They talk about gender identity, marriage, and what it means when God says it is not good for humans to be alone. Allberry and Moore consider the importance of friendship, the value of community, and the impact of social media on mental health.  They also discuss Allberry's experience with Ravi Zacharias International Ministries (RZIM), the Billy Graham rule, and fostering organizational cultures of transparency.

We can get in danger of being so infatuated with the idea of our sin's forgiveness that we start to leave obedience behind. Today, Barry Cooper points out that Christians don't take God's law less seriously, but more seriously.

Paul, a farmer and theologian, discusses his journey into farming and theology, his formation in the faith, and his theological influences. He emphasizes the importance of the object of faith and the danger of turning justification into the object of faith. He also addresses the issue of antinomianism in Lutheranism and the need to retain God's law. Paul and Jason discuss the misuse of the term 'genocide' in relation to the Israeli-Palestinian conflict. They also touch on the challenges of engaging in the public square as a Christian. In this conversation, Paul Henrickson discusses various topics including politics, preaching, the book of Joshua, the Gospel of Mark, and mental health. He expresses his concerns about the polarization in politics and the influence of corporate power on both major political parties. He also shares his experience of preaching and how it led to the creation of his book on preaching. Paul talks about his commentary on the book of Joshua and his love for the Gospel of Mark. He discusses the challenges of navigating disagreements and the importance of civil discourse. Lastly, he explores the topic of depression and the impact of lost connections on mental health.

One reason for the appeal of Christian Nationalism - either in its current form or its 1980s Moral Majority version - is the loss of moral norms in the wider society.  American Christians (Protestants more than Roman Catholics) functioned in their society relatively comfortably with generic Christian morality as the standard for public and private behavior.  As a moral consensus has eroded (is Donald Trump up or down stream from Pride Month?), churches may need to be more intentional about the basics of Christian morality than they were in previous generations. This discussion among the co-hosts - D. G. Hart (Presbyterian), Korey Maas (Lutheran), and Miles Smith (Anglican) goes fairly deep into the weeds of preaching the law with the unexpected twist of the Lutheran leading the charge for application and moral exhortation in sermons.   Later in the recording, the co-hosts also discuss the legitimacy of churches having a one-strike-and-you're-out policy for church officers who commit adultery through sexual sin.  Is plagiarism in preaching as bad as adultery?  Or do sexual offenses compromise a church officer's integrity in ways unlike other breaches of the moral law? Apologies to listeners for taking so long to post this recording.  Hiccups in schedules and switching podcast platforms are partly to blame.

Legalism and antinomianism

Is it legalistic to pursue holiness? To guard your life? To exhort others? To call others to repentance? To protect worship? How is Antinomianism related to Legalism?  Learn how Legalism negates the Grace of Christ in your life, prevents repentance,  and can be ultimately damning.

About the Guest(s): Mike Abendroth is the seasoned pastor of Bethlehem Bible Church in West Boytston, Massachusetts, where he has served since 1997. He brings a wealth of pastoral experience and theological insight to his ministry. Mike is also the voice behind No Compromise Radio, a platform dedicated to discussing theological truths and contemporary church issues, which can be found at nocompromiseradio.com or on popular podcast-catching apps. Episode Summary: In the latest episode of Renewal Cast, listeners are treated to a thought-provoking conversation with Mike Abendroth, who brings nuanced discussions on antinomianism and neonomianism to the table. The episode promises more than theological jargon; it delves into concepts critical to understanding gospel proclamation and the Christian life. The conversation begins by examining the historical and theological underpinnings of neonomianism and antinomianism—terms that discuss adherence to and the addition of laws in Christian doctrine, respectively. Abendroth eloquently navigates through the implications of these ideologies on salvation and Christian living, striking a balance that eschews legalism and licentiousness. The discussion seamlessly incorporates practical pastoral advice, affirming the priority of faith in Christ alone for salvation, while clarifying the roles of repentance and obedience as fruits of genuine faith. Key Takeaways:Neonomianism involves adding prerequisites to the gospel, suggesting that actions such as forsaking sin are required to come to Christ, which complicates the free offer of the gospel.Antinomianism challenges how Christians should live after salvation, questioning if obedience to God's law is necessary since they are not justified by it.True repentance and faith are closely linked, almost simultaneous in experience, yet distinct in order, with faith logically preceding repentance.Assurance of salvation should primarily rest on the person and work of Christ, not on the level of one's sanctification or good works.Legalistic preaching can obscure the generous grace of God, substituting the joy of the gospel with a burden of performance.Notable Quotes:"Jesus justifies the ungodly; His grace preceeds repentance and faith.""You're saved by faith alone, but that faith's not alone." (Paraphrased from Martin Luther)"Christians do sin…we don't have to pray enough or evangelize enough to be acceptable in God's eyes…Jesus did all that enough and we can just rest in him."Resources:Bethlehem Bible Church: Bethlehem Bible Church WebsiteNo Compromise Radio: No Compromise Radio WebsiteLet this episode be not just an academic venture but a heartwarming reminder of the profound grace that defines the Christian life. For those eager to deepen their understanding of these critical issues, make sure to listen to the entire conversation. Stay tuned for more enriching episodes that promise to edify, enlighten, and encourage.

What's worse, being bound by the Law or untethered from it entirely? It probably depends on where you're standing. In this episode, Dad and I trace out two kinds of challenges Christians have had to work out with respect to the Law—whether the Law given to Israel applies also to Gentile believers in Jesus Christ, and whether the Law in any respect contributes to justification. Then, we explore working definitions of legalism and antinomianism as misconstruals of the Christian's relationship to the Law, leading to the ultimate question: are legalism and antinomianism really, at root, the same thing after all?

Mark Jones is back on the podcast today, chatting with Carl and Todd about his latest book, The Pilgrim's Regress: Guarding against Backsliding and Apostasy in the Christian Life. Vowing not to write another book for a long time because of the toll it takes on his life expectancy, Mark explains why he chose to address the uncomfortable topic of backsliding believers—and, to a lesser extent, apostasy—in his latest work.  After Covid and all that it did to the church, there's a very serious need to confront what is an obvious pastoral issue for many pastors, and that is a lot of people have fallen away or become extremely lazy in their Christian living. - Mark Jones An important topic infrequently discussed in many Reformed churches, Mark addresses backsliding in this serious, hopeful, and pastoral work informed by wise theologians of the past and present.  P&R Publishing has provided a few giveaway copies of The Pilgrim's Regress: Guarding against Backsliding and Apostasy in the Christian Life for our listeners.

QUOTES FOR REFLECTION “You are happy when God blesses you, but not as happy as God is.”~C.H. Spurgeon (1834-1892), famed London pastor “Wash the plate, not because it is dirty nor because you are told to wash it, but because you love the one who will use it next.”~Mary Teresa Bojaxhiu (1910-1997), a.k.a. “Mother Teresa” “Christ did not die to redeem us in part. …[W]e must understand that God is after…any and all sin that would hinder the whole person from serving God fully and freely.”~Jackie Hill Perry, writer and hip-hop artist “Nothing in history or in the universe cuts us down to size like the cross. All of us have inflated views of ourselves, especially in self-righteousness, until we have visited a place called Calvary. It is there, at the foot of the cross, that we shrink to our true size.”~John Stott (1921-2011), London pastor and theologian “…the freer [the] gospel, the more sanctifying is the gospel; and the more it is received as a doctrine of grace, the more will it be felt as a doctrine according to godliness.  …[I]n the gospel…our desire after Him is not chilled into apathy by that barrier of human guilt….” “Retain a single shred or fragment of legality with the gospel, and you raise a topic of distrust between man and God. You take away from the power of the gospel to melt and to conciliate. For this purpose, the freer it is the better it is. That very peculiarity which so many dread as the germ of Antinomianism [i.e. lawlessness], is, in fact, the germ of a new spirit and a new inclination against it.”~Thomas Chalmers (1780-1847) in “The Expulsive Power of a New Affection” “Unless this freedom be comprehended, neither Christ nor gospel truth, nor inner peace of soul, can be rightly known.”~John Calvin (1509-1964), French-born reformer and theologianSERMON PASSAGEGalatians 5:1-15 (ESV)Galatians 5 1 For freedom Christ has set us free; stand firm therefore, and do not submit again to a yoke of slavery. 2 Look: I, Paul, say to you that if you accept circumcision, Christ will be of no advantage to you. 3 I testify again to every man who accepts circumcision that he is obligated to keep the whole law. 4 You are severed from Christ, you who would be justified by the law; you have fallen away from grace. 5 For through the Spirit, by faith, we ourselves eagerly wait for the hope of righteousness. 6 For in Christ Jesus neither circumcision nor uncircumcision counts for anything, but only faith working through love. 7 You were running well. Who hindered you from obeying the truth? 8 This persuasion is not from him who calls you. 9 A little leaven leavens the whole lump. 10 I have confidence in the Lord that you will take no other view, and the one who is troubling you will bear the penalty, whoever he is. 11 But if I, brothers, still preach circumcision, why am I still being persecuted? In that case the offense of the cross has been removed. 12 I wish those who unsettle you would emasculate themselves! 13 For you were called to freedom, brothers. Only do not use your freedom as an opportunity for the flesh, but through love serve one another. 14 For the whole law is fulfilled in one word: “You shall love your neighbor as yourself.” 15 But if you bite and devour one another, watch out that you are not consumed by one another.Romans 138 Owe no one anything, except to love each other, for the one who loves another has fulfilled the law. 9 For the commandments, “You shall not commit adultery, You shall not murder, You shall not steal, You shall not covet,” and any other commandment, are summed up in this word: “You shall love your neighbor as yourself.” 10 Love does no wrong to a neighbor; therefore love is the fulfilling of the law. Deuteronomy 30 6 And the Lord your God will circumcise your heart and the heart of your offspring, so that you will love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul, that you may live. Jeremiah 31 31 “Behold, the days are coming, declares the Lord, when I will make a new covenant with the house of Israel and the house of Judah, 32 not like the covenant that I made with their fathers on the day when I took them by the hand to bring them out of the land of Egypt, my covenant that they broke, though I was their husband, declares the Lord. 33 For this is the covenant that I will make with the house of Israel after those days, declares the Lord: I will put my law within them, and I will write it on their hearts. And I will be their God, and they shall be my people. 34 And no longer shall each one teach his neighbor and each his brother, saying, ‘Know the Lord,' for they shall all know me, from the least of them to the greatest, declares the Lord. For I will forgive their iniquity, and I will remember their sin no more.” Ezekiel 3626 And I will give you a new heart, and a new spirit I will put within you. And I will remove the heart of stone from your flesh and give you a heart of flesh. 27 And I will put my Spirit within you, and cause you to walk in my statutes and be careful to obey my rules.

Three major movements have shaped how Ugandan Christians understand themselves: 1) The East African Revival emphasized that we are sinners. 2) Today's hyper-grace movement emphasizes that we are saints. 3) Some Word-Faith teachers confidently say we are gods. Is there truth to any of these positions? A healthy Christian life depends on properly understanding the believer's position before God. Rodgers Atwebembeire explains these movements—and brings sharp clarity from Scripture.
